PETACH TIKVA, Israel,
May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Unique security concerns of nuclear facilities can be dealt with
using advanced new solutions that will be presented by executives
from NextNine and Schneider Electric (Euronext: SU) at the leading
conference on nuclear facilities hosted by the International Atomic
Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria,
June 1-5, 2015.
"Nuclear facilities are at the top of the risk curve, as any
cybersecurity breach can have dire consequences. Whether through an
insider threat, spear phishing or brute force attack, these crucial
plants are prime targets, and need to be continuously and
thoroughly protected while still managed and operated efficiently,"
said Shmulik Aran, CEO of NextNine.
"At NextNine, we take a leadership role in enabling critical
infrastructure owners worldwide to harden their enterprises and
gain visibility into their overall compliance with regulatory
standards at every point in time."
Michael Coden, VP of NextNine
will be presenting the following sessions:
Secure Remote Cyber Hardening of Industrial Control Systems
in Nuclear Facilities in Compliance with International
Standards
Jointly presented with Schneider Electric, this session is based on
the joint monitoring and maintenance of industrial control systems
at hundreds of sites, many of which are nuclear facilities, since
2006. Wednesday, June 3, 14:00 -
15:40, M-Building, Room: M1/B.
Applying Safety Analysis to Cyber Incidents
This session will present novel research on cyber incident
prevention models from the MIT Interdisciplinary Consortium for
Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, or MIT-(IC)3, of which NextNine is a
member. This presentation will show how cyber incident
prevention is analogous to industrial accident hazard avoidance and
prevention, and present a model and process that can be used to
prevent cyber incidents. Tuesday, June
2, 16:00 - 18:00, M-Building, Room: PR.
ISA / IEC TR62443-2-3 Patch Management Technical
Report
ISA99 Technical Report TR62443-2-3, and the associated technical
specification in the IEC 62443 series, address the patch management
aspect of IACS (Industrial Automation and Control Systems) cyber
security. As a co-editor, Coden will describe the organization of
the components of IEC-62443, and review a summary of the 62334-2-3
Patch Management Technical Report. Wednesday, June 3, 11:00 - 12:40, M-Building,
Room: M1/B.
The conference International Conference on Computer Security in
a Nuclear World will be taking place in Vienna, Austria, June
1-5. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expects ~800
nuclear cybersecurity executives, experts, and engineers to attend.
In addition to leading three educational sessions, NextNine will
have a booth in the exhibit area, together with Schneider Electric,
and MIT-(IC)3. To schedule a
